Ye Is Back!

For the first time since the whole Taylor Swift ish Mr. West steps back on stage. He dropped into nothing short of a massive thunderous reaction on Jiggas "Run This Town". Which really goes to show the man can do no wrong. I endorse Kayne in a big big way and while the whole Taylor Swift thing was a bit much I applaud Kayne to the fullest because he always says exactly whats on his mind. How in todays age of mass produced plastic people crankin' out "hits" they didnt even write and sometimes didnt even sing can you not fully respect that.

7 tracks for the 7 days of the week!

IT'S MONDAY!!!

...yuck.

On the bright side, the sun is shining, weather is sweet and hopefully these tunes will make you want to move your dancing feet ;)

This track preview is brought to you by the dynamic trio that call themselves Magnetic Man. The group consists of Skream, Benga, and Artwork, all of whom I'm sure need no introduction. They are signed to Columbia records and I cannot wait for their album to drop! Make sure to pick up a copy when it's released!


ps. Here's another new track by Magnetic Man. LOVE the synth line, soo catchy, and the drops are ridiculous. However, I think the rest could use a little work. Something is lacking. What do ya think?


Moving along, we have a new Mim0sa remix for those of you who like things on the glitchier side. This track is sick, not to mention FREE so turn up the bass and enjoy!


Next up we have a couple new remixes by the Canadian duo The Killabits. These guys have had my attention for a minute now. Hailing from Toronto, they represent one half of Bassmentality. Bassmentality is the brain child of The Killabits and Zeds Dead, another Toronto Based production duo. The night is held at Toronto's Wrong Bar, and features both groups as well as some local and international talent. Check out their myspace if you're feelin' these tracks:)

We all love Major Lazer, and this remix is dope.

Yet another remix of Poiriers "wha-la-la-leng". The Killabits picked up the tempo on this one and I'm definitely enjoying it!


Drum N Bass producer Netsky brings us this next track. The drop at 1:28 = heaven. Just sayin'.


last but not least...

When does something become so eastern it's western?


This is a ditty by LH1 out of Manchester. A growing hot bed of Dubstep that's leading the charge of artists coming from central and northern England; Look out London. LH1 seems to be a bit of a sleeper with his World-Dubstep beats, but judging by the number of Soundcloud comments he's received, definitely one to look out for in the near future.

Now, your probably wondering who this new face on the blog might be. Well, I'm your friendly, neighborhood Ten-O. One of the newer members of the Oh Snap family, but really a techno-klutz that never quite learned how to sign on and operate a blog. (I know. It seems easy now)


In the future, I look to provide this blog with perspective on the burgeoning bass scene. A look at Glitch and IDM, as well as new directions in Dubstep and DnB.
